Closing Time!!

[Element_of_Fun]

I'm not sure why, but this part of the process has been so confusing! Once I had an activation code and finally a Club ID, I was able to log in and see my account. Immediately after that, I received a confirmation email that my account had been created, and that email contains an entirely different number - a Membership Number. Now I guess I get to keep checking back to see when the points are there. I can see the contract - just no points yet.

congratulations!
how many days after you receive your activation code did you receive your club id email?

 

[magicmountainmama]

Have you received it yet?

No, still waiting and I haven't had the courage (or time) to attempt calling yet. I'll be sure to update here when it comes through.

I just received a set up auto pay from dvc. This is just cruel

Based on what I was reading here, it sounded like calling was going to get me nowhere. I figured this is a common problem, so I did a search of this thread to see if I could find any other advice. I should give credit where credit is due, but I also don't have time right now to look it up again. Anyway, the Disboard member suggested emailing wdw.dvc.dvd.resales@disney.com and including your name, address, and a description of the contract that had been purchased, including its number. I did that last night, and by mid-morning, I had gotten a reply containing club id #'s. It was obviously a reply to the email I had sent, not the other elusive email that allegedly comes. Best to everyone - this wait is the hardest yet!

Thank you so much for this info! I'll give it a go

What about obtaining a copy of the deed or insurance policy? Those items were mentioned in an email from the broker. I'm going to email the above. Thanks for the help. That's why I turned here. Seems like we are all around the later April closing period.

You should get a copy of the deed and insurance policy at some point from your title company.
My title company said it would take 30 business days?

Interesting - my resale during shutdown last year took 124 days! Longest wait was waiting on DVC: deed recorded on 6/17 but I did not have points in my account until 8/18! But man I would love to have those prices again! Should have bought another contract during shutdown!

 

[DisneyRunner2009]

Emailed for my member id. Got a reply with it within 15 minutes. My points were loaded, so 85 days from offer.

I agree - I just couldn't pass on the AKV contract because it had exactly the points & use year, plus 103 extra points in 2021.
But I got such a good Covid-Price on my SSR last year, that I'm not complaining.
I just wish the process was a bit quicker. My AKV points just loaded today, and when I went to book my Feb 2022 Ressie, the Value-Studio was no longer available. It was there 3 days ago, when I had last checked

Bummer! Keep checking! I was able to snag VGF for Oct by checking every day.

Is there a time of day that’s better to check? I’m looking for December. The only places available for my dates are SSR and AKV. I wouldn’t complain staying at either, but there’s just something about VGF at Christmas! It’s why I bought there! ❤

Yes, I've always had really good luck around 9am - who knows if it has anything to do with DVC just opening or not. GOOD LUCK! Yes, gotta be there at Christmas time!

I emailed wdw.dvc.dvd.resales@disney.com

It went much better than my two attempts calling.

Can anybody explain why the membership card you print out express after three months?
